Fans of Marian Keyes, Lisa Jewell and Santa Montefiore will love Sunday Times best-selling author Sheila O'Flanagan's The Missing Wife.

Have you ever wanted to disappear?

When Imogen Naughton vanishes, everyone who knows her is shocked. She has a perfect marriage. Her handsome husband treats her like a princess. She's always said how lucky she is. So why has she left? And how will she survive without Vince?

What goes on behind closed doors is often a surprise, and Imogen surprises herself by taking the leap she knows she must. But as she begins her journey to find the woman she once was, Imogen's past is right behind her....

Will it catch up with her? And will she be ready to face it if it does?

fantastic!

This story was so real life echoing that it was freaky! Having been in a situation so similar, I very nearly could not go on listening. But I did and it ended up being a fantastic listen. Again great narration by the narrator.

Love love LOVED it

I couldn't put this one down and listened to it in one sitting. The beautifully detailed descriptions of France, Imogen's journey and the friendships she forms and broken bonds she mends along the way, even Vince's perspective made this such an enjoyable book. I'm sad it's over. Brilliantly narrated by Aoife McMahon who has a lovely melodic voice and engaging tone. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

I was hooked

this was a different kind of book for me but I'm glad I tried it. Mainly due to the narrator. A great absorbing read.

It was a perfect description of how a controlling partner eats away at the confidence of their spouse. I love how she gets away and the story kept me on the edge of my seat as she was pursued.

I loved the characters and the narrator did a stellar job of depicting their personalities and emotions. I got a bit annoyed with Imogen towards the end, not accepting help but it was true to character. im ready to read another book by this author.

Great story and exceptional narration.

The story was great but what really made this book a great listen was the narration. Whether it was a French accent, Irish or Australian, the narrator was perfect. Highly Recommend this Audio Book

Left wanting more Sheila O'Flanagan

This is the first Sheila O'Flanagan book I've read. I got so involved with this story my heart was racing at times. Had to keep listening well past bedtime in the last chapters - wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise. I'm now deciding on which Sheila O'Flanagan to listen to next.

Delightful

Such a delightful book. The story is simple and opens itself beautifully to be fun, insightful and cheerful. I found myself passionately responding to characters and unable to stop listening to this audio. Indeed it is an easy read but so worth it for a short break from the doom and gloom of overly realistic novels.
